The Bridge Spread

Some people have asked me about the layout that I used in the last post. It's called "The Bri
dge", and it comes from Ana Cortez book The Playing Card Oracles. I find it to be a very to the point spread, that helps us see the good and the bad we have in the present, and integrate it with the past and the near future developments.

For those interested, I am sharing it below:

"This is a picture layout that gives you a general look at the energies at play in a person's life. Before shuffling, locate the 6 of Clubs ("The Bridge") within your deck and lay it face up on the table. Now have the person you are reading for mix the cards and turn one off the top of the deck for each of the four sides of "The Bridge".  These can be laid out in whichever order feels right intuitively.
The card to the left of "The Bridge" represents the past or what you are leaving behind. The card to the right is what is to come. Above symbolizes what is on The Bridge, for example, what is currently being manifested or carried with you across The Bridge.
The card at the bottom shows what is underneath The Bridge, in other words, what is being transcended. This is the fodder for transformation, the situations which must be overcome in order to change the conditions of the past into the promises of the future."
